i refuse to sink.

chapter two.

We rode in silence, partially because I was crying and I would cry harder if Zayn brought it up, and because I think he was afraid to find out what happened.

"I never got your name love." Zayn said. He looked over at me and smiled.

"U-m-m I'm M-oo-r-gaann" I stuttered still in tears.

"Zayn." He smiled and pulled into a driveway. I looked out the window and was faced with a huge house. He stopped at a gate and punched in a code and the gate opened. I knew that he was Zayn Malik but the house surprised me.

Zayn got out of the car and lifted me out of the car.

"I can walk now." I said calmly. I finally stopped crying, the place kind of surprised me.

"Are you sure?" Zayn asked. I nodded and he set me down slowly. I winced and Zayn looked at me so I forced a smile to show that I was indeed okay. Zayn led me up the stairs on the porch and opened the door for me.

"Why are you home so early?" I heard someone yell. It startled me so I jumped a little. Zayn told me to wait here, and walked to where the yelling was coming from. I peeked around the corner and saw Louis on the couch with a gorgeous girl curled up next to him. I wasn't a huge fan of One Direction, I only knew their names and like one song.. Louis looked my way so I focused my eyes somewhere else.

"Lets go." Zayn smiled and offered his hand. I placed my cold hand in his hand and walked up the stairs with him. He led me to a bathroom and lifted me up on the counter. "Okay, stay here I am going to get the first aid kit." Zayn said and left the room. I looked at myself in the mirror behind me and flinched back. I looked horrible. A few tears escaped my eyes I quickly wipe them away before Zayn walked in.

"It may sting a little so just squeeze my hand, okay?" Zayn grabbed my hand and started rubbing my cuts on my face. They stung like a bitch. I squeezed Zayns hand, I think he may have lost circulation. He cleaned my legs and arms up and said I could use the shower.

"Thanks Zayn." I whispered before he left the bathroom.

"No problem babe." He smiled and shut the door. I took my dress off and gasped. I had black and blue bruises all over my stomach. I ran my fingers along the bruises and winced. I slid my body down the door and cried.

"Morgan?" I heard Zayn knock and slowly open the door on the other side of the bathroom. "Oh my gosh, who did this to you?" Zayn rushed over when he saw the bruises covering my body. I shrugged and he lifted me to his lap and I cried into his chest.

"Can I shower now?" I croaked after a few minutes of crying into Zayns chest. He nodded and stood me up and turned on the shower.

"Everything will be okay now." Zayn whispered before he left me alone. That was the number one lie people told me. When my dad was dying he said everything will be fine, but it wasn't, he pasted away. When my sister was leaving she said everything was going to be okay, it wasn't. Nothing will ever be fine, ever.

I stepped in the shower and washed away all the dry blood, and the scent of Tyler. I stood under the burning water for a few minutes wishing everything would go back to normal, before I was raped by Tyler 3 months ago.

Zayn's P.O.V

"What happened to her mate?" Louis whispered. Louis and I were talking in the kitchen.

"I don't know Lou, I was walking into the party and she ran into me and started crying into my chest. She wont tell me Lou, someone attacked her I know it." I sighed.

"What did she say happened?" Louis asked.

"She said she fell, but she has bruises all over her stomach, she would'nt cry like that if she just fell."

"Well you don't know her, maybe she gets emotional when she falls." Louis replied.

"Louis, something seriously happened, you don't fall and end up with that much shit." I spat at Louis. "I'm sorry mate, I just don't know what to do, I don't even know this girl and I feel so protective over her."

"Zayn, you feel protective of her because you have sisters and you know if anything happened to one of your sisters you would want to kick someones ass." Louis said and walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"Thanks Lou." I walked out of the room. "Hey El, can I use some of your clothes for Morgan please?"

"Yeah, I will go see her okay? Stay here let me talk to her." Eleanor kissed me on the cheek and went upstairs.

"She will be okay." Louis said.

"I hope so Lou."

Morgan's P.O.V

"Shit." I cursed. I don't have clothes, my dress is covered in blood and is ripped. I heard a knock at the door, which startled me.

"Morgan?" A girl voice said. I opened the door and was greeted by the girl that was cuddling with Louis earlier. "Hi, I'm Eleanor, Louis's girlfriend, lets go get you some clothes okay babe?" Eleanor took my hand and led me into a room. She went over to the drawers and pulled out some sweats, a t-shirt and a sports bra. "Is this okay?" Eleanor asked.

"Yeah, thanks so much." I smiled and she left me to get changed. It felt so good to be in clean clothes.

"What happened Morgan?" Eleanor asked after I let her in. She sat down on the bed so I sat down and played with imaginery strings from the comforter.

"I--- I was- -- - raped 3 months ago." I whispered, I don't know if she heard.

"Is that what happened tonight?" Eleanor asked.

"Almost, I saw him so I went outside and he found me and he hit me and kicked me. He tried to rape me but I kicked him and ran and then I ran into Zayn." I finally got out. I was crying so hard now, so Eleanor pulled me into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Morgan, I am here for you, Zayn is so worried about you babe." Eleanor said. I lifted my head and saw that she was also crying. I nodded and told her to go get Zayn. I laid my head on the pillow and closed my eyes and waited for Zayn.

Zayn's P.O.V

Eleanor came down the stairs, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Babe, what happened?" Louis got up and hugged Eleanor.

"Zayn go talk to her." Eleanor whispered. I nodded and Eleanor hugged me before I walked up stairs.

"Morgan?" I knocked lightly on the door. No response. I opened the door and Morgan was asleep on my bed. She looked so tiny and fragile lying there. I could see her tear stained face. I walked over to her and put a blanket on her little body.

"I'm here to protect you." I whispered and kissed her on the cheek. I felt her grab my hand.

"Stay with me please." She whispered with her eyes still closed.

"Of course." I smiled and laid next to her on the bed she curled up to my body and we both drifted into a deep sleep.
